Allison Mack Is Defenseless

On the topic of voyeuristic, salacious sex headlines — Nancy Grace slams Allison Mack while all the other pimp mamas — starting with Nancy and Lauren Salzman — are downplayed or pitied?!

Nancy Grace says Allison Mack should serve as much time in prison as Keith Raniere.

Ally was not only a late-comer but was, IMO, far more susceptible to being puppeteered due to many factors:

– Ally’s child star status. She’s been taking direction and “role-playing” nearly her entire life. She had no real identity of her own to fall back on.

Allison Mack became an actress at an early age.

– Ally’s need to please. In her case, this became, was made, a “survival” need. Starved, sleep-deprived, etc. as she was, she fell further and further into the trap of subjugation just to stay alive.

– Her lack of education. Ally didn’t have the tools or information to make sense of her situation as she was being brutally manipulated. Has she ever even heard of Pavlov?

– Her trusting, kind nature. Because she did not have it in her “authentically,” IMO, to be cruel and calculating, she couldn’t fathom that anyone else was capable of such, or to what end.

– Ally’s family dynamics. She hails from a show biz family that pinned their hopes of fame and fortune on Ally and her early success her older show biz siblings (especially her sister — notably a lesbian) had not achieved.

There are many other nuances to be considered before anyone judges Allison Mack against the other participants in this drama.

Allison Mack at her parent’s home in Los Alamitos California. She is under home arrest awaiting sentencing in September.

What most disturbs me is that even now, Ally is still DEFENSELESS against this kind of stone-throwing. Where is Ally’s publicist to call Grace demanding a rebuttal, an expert opinion? Where’s her Bronfman or Salinas paid Miami shark lawyer to slap a defamation suit on Nancy Grace’s producers?

And, perhaps most significantly, where’s Kristin Kreuk and her “victim” India Oxenberg — all her “empowered” friends to stand by her now?

Ally is still taking the fall just as she was expertly set up to do from at least the moment she landed at Necker Island, getting the Royal treatment in the company of Mexico’s would-be Royals, Alex Betancourt and Emiliano Salinas, and a host of other users?

One more thing, who did all the hair, make-up, costuming, lighting, set, sound for the KAR [Keith Alan Raniere] YouTube interviews?

Who cares what someone like Nancy Grace says, but this dribble is full of nonsensical statements which seems to be a pattern when it comes to Heidi rhapsodizing about her dream version of Allison Mack. And Allison obviously isn’t defenseless and doesn’t need to hire a publicist (assuming she could even afford one at this point) when she has Heidi Hutchinson and Frank Parlato constantly popping up to defend and excuse her behavior. Luckily for Allison, she was born white, blonde, and heterosexual (faux, scam marriage to Nicki Clyne aside) or it’s doubtful, giving their posting history, that either Frank or Heidi would be taking the time to champion the poor straight white girl.

And speaking of Nicki Clyne, where is she and why isn’t she standing by her spouse in her greatest moment of need? Why hasn’t she stepped forward to publicly defend the honor of the woefully misconstrued, in Heidi’s mind, defenseless Allison Mack? Mack reportedly worshiped Barbara Bouchey and couldn’t stop talking about her for three years and entrusted her with all her money. Barbara , I’m ready for my close-up, Bouchey will readily talk up Raniere, but when it comes to Mack???? What about former members Allison recruited. Have any come forward to defend her? Perhaps if the only people willing to defend Allison are ones who’ve never met her or only interacted with her briefly, that should tell you something about what kind of person she allowed herself to be.

On May 13, 2019, trial witness Mark Vicente described a conversation where he expressed concern to Keith about Allison Mack, that she looked “horrible”, and “broken.” Vicente testified that Keith response was, “Well, I’m trying to break her.”

I do not agree with Nancy Grace. Allison, while not blameless herself, should not serve the same prison time as Keith Raniere.

It’s understandable that AM could be deemed a victim of KR, but that doesn’t excuse or dismiss her own behaviour. She bought into his version of Utopia, and she was happy to be close to the “king”. For a moment, get on the Utopian train with her. Imagine who AM would be if KR’s version of reality had of actually occurred? She’s already shown the kind of “slavemaster” she would be on a minor level, can you imagine her with 100 slaves…? 200…? Would she somehow develop a kinder, gentler way to manipulate her slaves into having sex with the “king” ? What happens to collateral when the “king” gets tired of magnified labia shots, and bullshit incest stories? The brainwashing put her in the position(s) to make choices that a normal life wouldn’t have to consider, but it didn’t make her become a sadist! She did that by herself! Her style, her flavour!

These people took a few courses in self-help, and were inspired by “changing the world” with this ideology. At what point on the path to enlightenment, (with “the most ethical man in the world”) does it require you to sub-humanize others? Whether it’s using them as a “fuck toy”, or cleaning your house and running errands….it’s all still “using” unless there’s fair exchange, and goes against the “we are one”, kumbaya of the new age. How on earth does holding someone hostage with collateral become a tool for enlightenment?

They will cry, faint and have breakdowns…too bad, so sad…these reactions are because they KNEW it was wrong and they didn’t listen to themselves! They put ALL their faith in a sociopath’s basket and became the worst versions of themselves. Now it’s time to pay the piper….after all…there are no victims, right?

First of, it’s nice to see i’m not alone to defend Allison around here so Thank you Heidi!
Especially because more than anyone here, you know about Nxivm.

Nancy Grace get way more attention than she deserve and Honestly, if i was you, i would ignore what she said. She knows nothing about this whole case, it’s obvious.
But this is also Radaronline’s fault. They are obsessively going against Allison and twist anything against her.

“– Her trusting, kind nature. Because she did not have it in her “authentically,” IMO, to be cruel and calculating, she couldn’t fathom that anyone else was capable of such, or to what end.”
This is particularly true! She always was like that…Actually, Chad confirmed that she didn’t listen to her gut feeling (about Nxivm) but trusted someone else (unnamed by Chad but i suspect it was K.Kreuk(and before people jump to conclusion, i’m not saying KK knew about the vile/negative side of nxivm…she was there for a few months (or a year)))

“– Ally’s family dynamics. She hails from a show biz family that pinned their hopes of fame and fortune on Ally and her early success her older show biz siblings (especially her sister — notably a lesbian) had not achieved.”

That is not true…Her parents didn’t pushed her in this…Allison loved acting. It’s not that important but i just had to defend her parents position there.

“What most disturbs me is that even now, Ally is still DEFENSELESS against this kind of stone-throwing. Where is Ally’s publicist to call Grace demanding a rebuttal, an expert opinion? Where’s her Bronfman or Salinas paid Miami shark lawyer to slap a defamation suit on Nancy Grace’s producers?”

Allison had an habit not to give importance to rumors and critizisms…This is why most of her friends refuse to talk over here. They respect that.
I do answer to it (but should not) because it’s in my gene’s to defend someone who are unjustly attacked.
I also think she is quite aware that Nancy Grace is a washed out “TV personnality” who try to get attention at any cost…The (real) prosecutor of her case believe she deserve 3 to5 and that says everything she need to know.
And the prosecution are going extremly strong against Allison so it’s definately the max they could hope.

Grace is just another useless “reality tv” personnality. Her opinion is just…that, her opinion.

“And, perhaps most significantly, where’s Kristin Kreuk and her “victim” India Oxenberg — all her “empowered” friends to stand by her now?”

I assume that India is directed by her mother (to avoid her to say what india really thing about Allison…)After all, her book (Cat’s book) is excessively against Allison while Vicente clearly said that India Love Allison.
KK, I would blame her for not standing to defend Allison (or atleast to say to people that she was not like that before Nxivm) but At the same time, Allison wouldn’t want her to do it.

“Ally is still taking the fall just as she was expertly set up to do from at least the moment she landed at Necker Island, getting the Royal treatment in the company of Mexico’s would-be Royals, Alex Betancourt and Emiliano Salinas, and a host of other users?
One more thing, who did all the hair, make-up, costuming, lighting, set, sound for the KAR [Keith Alan Raniere] YouTube interviews?
Why weren’t any Mexican girls featured in those vignettes?”

When i see what a certain prosecutor did (during the trial) , when i see the way Raniere’s lawyer tried to pin on Allison the sexual behavior’s of his client (despite that fact that the pattern was seen (and often) outside Allison’s pod)
I’d say it’s accurate.
For those around FR that support she was the master and all, they are not worth the attention. I still reply them but i don’t care their opinions, They can believe what they want, the proof have talked and it’s clear…Allison is a victim.

She was involved in child trafficking and sold children to the elites, to be sacrificed and harvested for their adrenochrome. No mercy for this b**** it’s bad enough that she let genetics like hers go to waste by being a lesbian, but selling children to be consumed by the elite. AKA harvested to make drugs. That is Unforgivable. She can burn in hell … No… Her very Soul needs to be taken apart thread by thread. Erase her from existence.

Unless your information is first-hand you must refrain from writing nonsense like this. At least, those who read all the information published on this blog know that your story is as real as the best friend of Chloe Sullivan

Her life and her misfortunes are not a defence for what she did, people suffered because of her actions and she should pay the fullest penalty for it. Hey, I liked her on the Smallville shows, and I thought she should have been the one the writers should have hookedClark up with.but that was television. In real life, she is heartless and should be treated the same.

Maybe not but she didn’t commit the crime some accuse her to have done…She didn’t even committed everything she pleaded for!
She was collecting collaterals and that’s it. It’s a crime, a serious one but not one that deserve life in jail.
In penal code, she deserve a maximum of 2 years (without considering she was coerced herself)…
In a court , at a normal trial, she would receive a probation period because she was forced to commit the crime.

A grand jury indicted her on 7 counts. When she went before the court after making a deal to plead guilty to just some of them, including the multiple predicate acts of one of those, her allocution had to include specific admissions and explanations of her guilt for all the acts involved, to the satisfaction of the judge that she was being truthful and taking responsibility.

Normally, without some of the country’s best and most expensive attorneys defending her, she would have fared far worse for what she was involved in.

On the new piece about Mack, I briefly listed all the charges against her – and it’s worth noting that on many of them, just she and Raniere were listed, demonstrating her leading role as his henchwoman. I guess now I’ll have to go through her allocution and find the quotes where she explicitly admits and explains her guilt for her crimes.

and exactly what were her actions, lying and cheating, as she was lied to and deceived, obeying and believing blindly in KAR and in the other women in the intimate circle before her, as happened to other women who did not being famous were not the target of the media and the public expectation

Unfortunately you’re right. Smallville is still one of my favorite shows of all time but she literally signed up girls to be sex slaves to high dollar scumbags! The worst part of this entire thing is that we unfortunately won’t see many of the elites go down that were abusing the hell out of all these girls. Partially off hetopic but the fact that somebody like Hillary Clinton was even running for president and was in it till the end only shows how little people actually care about such things in RL. The excuse of “look who she was running against” is far from an acceptable excuse as that family is just F’d altogether. Anyone that physically preys on girls or especially little children in many cases (especially in the amounts of the Hollywood scene) needs to be exposed regardless of who they are or how much money they have. The ones that actually abuse little kids should have the death penalty and carried out by the method the parents of the children see fit….

second time i Don’t see my comment posted (while there is Nothing wrong in it)

“However, I believe Allison Mack should still be held accountable for her actions. She should be punished. ”
Despite the fact that it’s clear that she is a victim, that she paid WAY MORE than the “actual victims” and the fact she was coerced to do it…
Seriously?

“It’s hard to reconcile Allison’s victim hood alongside her villainous actions, such as collecting collateral, grooming female slaves, and recruiting future slaves with zeal. ”
Wait what? what are you talking about…the only action she committed was collecting collaterals!
The grooming part is not her doing (she was herself groomed) and recruiting with zeal? so why only 1 victim?

You feel Nothing…Her life was destroyed (and it was said that it was the goal during trial) and yet you wish her to spend time in jail ?! that is compassion…gosh i wish you’ll never lack compassion!

She has spend 1year+ and potentially a year and half in home confinement…
The judge himself consider it’s just like prison (september 2018).
But let’s send another victim in jail instead of letting her save whatever she has left of her life…

A more appropriate sentence should be probation and Community service.

“What if Alison Mack never accepted Kristin Kreuk’s invitation?”
Good question…same could be said about KK, what if she didn’t met Hildreth…Atleast she was able to leave before she was coerced and abused.

But a better question about someone who people see as a “hero” now…What if Edmondson didn’t create (with Vicente) the Vancouver center?

Nancy Grace is promoting her new TV show. It debuts soon. That could be how come Grace has been going around blabbing.

Her Radar bit about Raniere sounded uninformed and trivial, as if Grace hadn’t studied up on the subject. She even said something about Raniere branding people as if that was how it happened. Grace had little or nothing to say about this case, but you can be sure she sounded like a bull moose harumphing about it. She was a bull moose as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, too. My gawd she was terrifying in sequins.

She could have mentioned Mack because Nancy Grace probably never heard of the other women and wouldn’t remember their names. Allison Mack used to be famous, so Nancy Grace can get attention by mentioning her name.

It’s not a subject for a media huckster like Nancy Grace to determine what punishment is appropriate for Allison Mack. I get the impression that this woman may have much deeper emotional and developmental problems that prevented her from using common sense and value judgement that most of us aquire in the course of growing up. It would be wrong and unfair to not have her evaluated by professional mental health people. It remains to be seen if she is not a manipulated person who was drawn into this situation.

“– Ally’s family dynamics. She hails from a show biz family…”
What? Her father is an opera singer. Associated with the LA Philharmonic, I believe. “Show biz family” makes it sound like her parents are desperate impresarios and she grew up living in a succession of seedy residential motels one missed rent payment away from being homeless. Her mother’s house– which provided security for Ally’s bail– is valued at a cool $5 million. Evidently she grew up in a highly cultured, well to do, stable family. If there’s any evidence that she was pressured into acting as a kid, I’d like to see it; as far as I know, it was always her dream to be an actor, and she got to live her dream.

“- Her lack of education”
She’s a high school graduate. This came out in open court during her allocution. If she never went to college, that was her choice; she certainly had every opportunity. When Smallville ended she had plenty of time on her hands (filming only took part of the year anyway) and she most certainly had the money; she made millions in her decade long run with that network show. Instead, she chose to follow her guru Keith Raniere for her path to wisdom. Not that a college education helps keep people from being naive fools. They don’t teach common sense at university.

“– Her trusting, kind nature”
I think that’s Chloe, the character she played on Smallville. The Ally who forced her slaves to strip naked and photographed them, who told one of them she “had a nice cunt”, who mocked one of them for being upset at this cruel humiliation, who sneeringly told one of her slaves she had her “permission to enjoy it” after coercing her into having sex with Raniere, she does not seem at all kind to me. And the fact that she carefully, dutifully, and thoroughly collected blackmail materiel on her DOS slaves rather explodes the notion that she was at all trusting.

“– Ally’s need to please”
She certainly didn’t feel any need to please her slaves, though. Didn’t have any compassion for them, no fellow feeling. Sure, she wanted to please her lord and master, her love, her guru and friend Keith. He could do things for her. He mattered to her. Her need to please seems to have been awfully selective. And selfish.

“– Ally’s child star status. She’s been taking direction and “role-playing” nearly her entire life”
She did these two things on set. I think she knew the difference between being on set and real life. Again, Allison Mack is not Chloe (she wrote an article for the Huffington Post on this very subject). I’ve seen this kind of special pleading for actors before. Oh, they’re different, they aren’t allowed to be normal people, they’re so sensitive, poor dears. No, I don’t buy it. Everybody’s special, everybody’s got an excuse. Some actors are miserable, some are drunks, some can’t cope. Just like the regular population.

“Ally is still DEFENSELESS against this kind of stone-throwing”
What stone-throwing? “Ally” confessed to two felony racketeering counts. She’s guilty. She admitted she did what she’s accused of. You want her to turn around and sue people for defamation? Good luck with that, Ally.

Ally’s publicist has pulled the former actress from her Rolodex. Ally’s calls will not be returned. Ally is in no position to demand retractions or rebuttals, and she will be charging no-one with defamation. Ally has other things to occupy her mind, like how she will survive the next years in prison.

“Ally is still taking the fall just as she was expertly set up to do…”
Taking the fall? For whom? Rainiere? He’s going to prison too, likely for the rest of his life. Nobody took the fall for him, he took it himself. Fell right on his face. Au contraire, our Ally got off rather lightly, considering. The Feds had her on the extremely serious charge of sex trafficking, they let her plead guilty on two lesser counts and mercifully dropped the big charge. I think this is just, since Mack probably poses no threat to the public, she had no prior brushes with the law, and isn’t the massive asshole Raniere is.

Finally, there’s the “why Ally? What about the others?” argument.
Lots of reasons. First, the criminal’s plaint that other people do worse and get away with it is specious. It’s best answered with “because you got caught, dumbass.” The Feds had the goods on Miss Mack, either through ill luck or her own stupidity in preserving cell phone records and audio of her discussing torture-branding ceremonies with her criminal mastermind friend and guru. Maybe because she was late getting on the plea-deal bus (and that was her own damn fault). Or maybe it’s just because she was such a valuable lieutenant in Raniere’s criminal enterprise, and central to DOS, the core of the rotten apple that was Nxivm.

Everyone involved in this cult had a troubled childhood. KAR was likely incested by his alcoholic mother and who knows what other trauma the rest were trying to work through. Did you ever read about Charles Manson’s childhood? If anyone is going to get a free pass for bad parenting… his mother teaching him burglary at age 5. I think the Marquis de Sade had difficulties as a child, same with Jack the Ripper… raised very badly. I can even begin to tell you about the family dynamics that went on in the Ted Bundy household.

Let’s just say if we are going to excuse people for poor family dynamics in childhood, a lot of people get released from prison… probably all of them.

People like you are idiots. She wasn’t some poor helpless slave. She was just as powerful and despicable as Reineer. She personally branded the genitals of several women. Blackmailed several women. Worst of all, she tried to recruit her female friends. Any adult non sociopath would stop and question someone requesting them to perform those actions. The real tell is she suddenly broke free from him right before her trial. A brainwashed person doesn’t get over shit that fast. I’m so fucking tired of the she’s a woman so she must be a victim. She’s a sick sociopathic predator. I hope she gets at least 50 years.

Another question: where is Allison’s “wife” — NIcki Clyne — who seems to have breezed through all of this without a bit of controversey coming anywhere near her. Isn’t it appropriate to stand up for your spouse in a bad situation? Heck, even HRC defended Billy when he got Monica’s dress all sloppy…

For Allison and her family, NXIVM has been a huge catastrophe. Her money is gone. Her families money is gone. Her property is gone. Her parents have remortgaged their house and fallen deeply into debt.

It’s a sad state of affairs, that shows what a truly dangerous individual Raniere is.

(By the way Heidi, I think I unintentionally offended you a couple of weeks ago. Even though it was not intended, I apologise.)

this is not about exonerating their responsibilities, but about being more fair with them, if someone said that the only woman willing to obey KAR without stopping to think for a moment about what she was doing or the consequences of her actions was allison and that only she agreed to follow his orders despite not really understanding what this means, simply regurgitating the same words of KAR over and over again until they make sense or turn off the voice of conscience.
but that is exactly what most of these women did, including the three sisters, marinana, daniela and camila.
but still all focus on the fact that she was called the second in command. When all the testimonies and evidence obtained show that KAR created, designed and directed the DOS from the beginning and sold an idea to the women of the first line, so that they ran with this idea and sold it to other women, keeping their participation secret until they were well caught between the sword that means the fear of the guarantee and the wall that signifies the trust between the same women of not wanting evil for each other, the diet of low calories, lack of sleep and all the other things that KAR used to indoctrinate women, and this as we know it did with all women. On the other hand people forget that according to the pyramid scheme of DOS and its 666 system, each master slave only has to recruit 6 slaves and then each slave is asked to do the same, then someone asked what happened in the group de lauren, nicky, rosa laura, dani padilla and all the other front line slaves including a stretcher, I say this because we now know that the first line slaves received orders directly from KAR and not from allison, for which it was KAR and not allison who transmitted those orders to the women who had to seduce him through their respective master slaves, that is to say allison was only responsible for giving these orders in his own decendent line.

I agree with you. Lots of factors lead Allison down this path. Luckily, she has the rest of her life to grow from this experience. I believe there was one video chat where Keith and Allison were talking and Keith offered up a hypothetical situation whereas, how would Allison feel had she spectacularly bombed on stage as an actress. He was trying to delineate the difference between Allison the person from Allison the actress. However, in this case, Allison the person bombed on the same world stage as Keith joked about. With that said, it’s best she’s going back to school and should stay in school no matter the cost, and for quite some time.

“Allison Mack is just a poor little lamb led to the slaughterhouse.”
ROTFLMAO

When Mack entered the Vanguard’s inner circle there were already plenty of women available to serve the pervert.
Younger women.
Prettier women.
Less self-absorbed, pretentious women.

Both Lauren Salzman and Nicki Clyne were already servicing the Vanguard as well as a host of Mexican women.
Even Rose Laura Junco was willing to serve up her daughter as a sacrifice to the satyr Vanguard.

And Allison Mack with her eyes wide open, knowing full well who and what Keith Raniere is, elbowed herself to the front of the line.
When Raniere suggested a group re-commitment ceremony involving “Group Fellatio” did Allison Mack object?
Or was Mack first in line to start off the ceremony?
Allison Mack even referred to the other women in NXIVM DOS as “sister wives.”
Allison Mack knew damned well what kind of relationship Raniere wanted and she was hell bent on giving herself to that kind of relationship.

“Her lack of education. Ally didn’t have the tools or information to make sense of her situation as she was being brutally manipulated. Has she ever even heard of Pavlov?”

Pavlov’s dogs, eh?

If I said something like this statement I would be called out as a misogynist for comparing Allison Mack to a dog.
Allison Mack is an adult woman well versed in the rhetoric of “female empowerment” and familiar with all of the rhetoric of today’s feminism.
And of all of the males I know, many of them quite conservative and traditional, not one would talk about branding women like cattle and turning them into sex slaves.

If Allison Mack lacks an education it’s up to her to show the initiative and go out and get an education.
Poor women from the ghettos and barrios go out and get educations.
College educations.
Allison Mack only started college after being indicted and arrested in order to impress the judge.

Plenty of child actresses get good college educations.
Women like Mayim Bialik who has a PhD.
Women like Stacey Keenan who is a lawyer.
Women like Danica McKellar who has a degree in Mathematics and has written a book on Math.
Math Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail Hardcover – August 2, 2007
by Danica McKellar
But the poor 4-year old Allison Mack lacks the perseverance to get an education.

It’s high time for Allison to begin acting like a big girl and stop trying to manipulate the world like a little 4 year old girl.

” Her trusting, kind nature. Because she did not have it in her “authentically,” IMO, to be cruel and calculating,”
Heidi, the world is full of sharks.
People in Hollywood should know that more than anyone else.

“a show biz family that pinned their hopes of fame and fortune on Ally and her early success her older show biz siblings (especially her sister — notably a lesbian) had not achieved.”

I have tried to avoid talking much about Allison’s family but to answer your point I will have to.
Allison’s sister is about nine years younger than Allison.
And the sister now has a licensed career that is such that as a convicted felon Allison might be unable to obtain such a license.
Allison’s brother is about two years older and has a good job in the field of education.
Allison Mack’s bogus stories about her nephew being molested could have actually jeopardized her brother’s career.
Allison’s father has a career as a vocal coach and also conducts a church choir.
Not everyone in Hollywood is a Superstar.
Many people struggle to survive.
But Allison Mack was willing to exploit those struggling actresses and turn them into sex slaves.
Save your pity for Allison’s victims like “Jaye” and “Nicole”.

” Where is Ally’s publicist to call Grace demanding a rebuttal, an expert opinion? ”
Ally’s publicist probably wants nothing to do with her.

“Where’s her Bronfman or Salinas paid Miami shark lawyer to slap a defamation suit on Nancy Grace’s producers?”
Heidi, lawyers won’t take a losing case like this unless they’re paid up front.
Allison Mack is a public figure who plead guilty in open court to racketeering and admitted to being involved in blackmail and extortion.
On top of that testimony in open court from “Jaye” and “Nicole” clearly indicates that Mack was manipulating these women into a sex trafficking operation.

“And, perhaps most significantly, where’s Kristin Kreuk and her “victim” India Oxenberg — all her “empowered” friends to stand by her now?”
First of all India Oxenberg was a victim and slave of Allison Mack.
Please take the time to read Catherine Oxenberg’s book “Captive” which discusses in some detail how Allison Mack used and abused India Oxenberg.
As for Kristin Kreuk, she is more worried about her own career and not getting tarred with Allison Mack’s madness.

” getting the Royal treatment in the company of Mexico’s would-be Royals, Alex Betancourt and Emiliano Salinas, ”
In that couple of Alex and Emi who is the Queen?
Or are they both Queens?

“One more thing, who did all the hair, make-up, costuming, lighting, set, sound for the KAR [Keith Alan Raniere] YouTube interviews?”
The camera and other technical work might have been done by Mark Vicente.
And Allison herself is quite skilled in make up and dress.
And why weren’t Mexican girls involved?
Allison Mack’s “The Source”, her bogus acting school/sex slave gateway was trying to attract wannabe actresses.

Heidi, I know you identify with Allison Mack as a fellow actress but Allison never hesitated to abuse other actresses to advance her own power in the cult.

Has Heidi ever met Mack to back up all of these dramatic claims? This is what happens to celebrities, they get propped up much higher than they deserve and the media loves to drag them through the mud when they deserve it. I don’t care about Mack and you shouldn’t either.

I agree, Adam. What does Allison’s sister being a lesbian have anything to with any of this? Completely irrelevant.

Also, I don’t think Allison’s lack of a higher education has anything do to with her falling into Keith’s evil clutches. Many in Keith’s harem had college degrees. It boils down to insecurity, lack of self esteem, and wanting to find a higher purpose in life to become a better person. I’ve said it before, but all the women that became part of the inner workings of NXIVM all went in with pure intentions and Keith squashed them psychologically.

Yet it still has nothing to do with Mack’s guilt,innocence or why she did what she did.
Her education and “childhood actress” keeps coming up as well. Did she not graduate high school? And again, so what? Plenty of intelligent and successful people did not go on to college. It’s not like she was very busy acting before Smallville either. So many excuses.
They all were enamored by their fantasy community, their mission, playing characters in a half assed Camelot. I’m convinced few actually believed Raniere and his bullshit. They played along like a bunch of 12 year olds in a secret club. Living in the same neighborhood, group activities, fucking volleyball night!

Victims are the under age and those sued into oblivion. The ones that signed up not so much.

To be fair quite a bit of stock is in their identity as homosexual and pride of being. Those complaining of labels are touting and applying labels and demanding those labels be recognized.
I’ve never had the need to share my “labels” with friends family or employers. Nor is there any pride or shame had for them.
Mentioning Mack’s sister’s sexual orientation while not homophobic is unnecessary and irrelevant. Most likely anyway.

NXIVM was all about labels; authentic, ethical prideful suppressive master and slave and so on. The sashes were symbols of labels one could recognize on sight. A truly humanitarian community would avoid labels focusing instead on that we are all people regardless our idiosyncrasies
